Hyde Productions Gmail Communication

In order to send files for the poster e.g. billing block, we used Gmail. This was useful as you could send one email to all members of the group. The billing block was something we can to share and was already done by one member of the group, so in terms of everyone having the same one we had to save the already done copy.

The Team

This Production company includes [from left to right] Chantelle Locsin, Amber Byrne, Chantelle Anonuevo and Cedric Onchuru.

Amber Byrne:

Director, Head Editor and Music Producer. 

This is an important role for making the trailer, she helps keep everyone organised and keeps the shots and actors on track with the trailer. She also has to keep the trailer focused on it's genre with both the music and editing to help both work together to make the trailer give a good thrilling sense both visually and auditory.

Chantelle Anonuevo:

Co-Director, Co-Editor, Producer and Vlogger.

This is another important role for the trailer, having assistance with directing and editing to have a second opinion on what is done. Plus she made the plot from the start so has the visual ideas for the trailer so would know what is needed to fulfil the vision of the trailer. She also vlogs the backstage process.

Chantelle Locsin:

Costume and Props Director, Research and Planning Organiser and Vlog Editor.

This is a role that takes time, money and effort and she puts that in, inside and outside of the group or filming set. She helps research and plan what is needed and what would inspire the trailer, and in addition to that she would buy the props needed that'll help emphasise the iconography of the chosen genre. She also edits the vlogs to help produce visual content of the journey of filming.

Cedric Onchuru:

After Effects Editor

This is a role needed to help make the trailer look professional with conventional aspects such as producing an animated production logo, inter titles, trailer dates and mainly of course the film title. Without these conventions, the trailer wouldn't conform to the norms of trailers and appeals to the audience as more than an edited video but a trailer.

The Purge Poster Analysis

The dystopian nature of The Purge makes it relatable to our own work, because we took inspiration from this as well as other dystopian films, such as V for Vendetta, when devising, planning, and creating our own products. Analysing a poster of a similar genre will enable me to utilise some aspects of it in my own, therefore making my work more professional to look at and effective in enticing our target audience. 

The poster as a whole has a sinister vibe, which is captured by use of dark colours and the malicious, if not evil intent seen in the eyes of the person behind the mask. This expression is juxtaposed with the smile of the mask, which is representative of how no one can be trusted on the night of the purge. 

The texture of the poster itself is quite rough, and looks grainy. This could be a reflection of the hardships the characters of the film will experience in their efforts to "survive the night", as well as showing the chaotic nature of the purge- it's a rough night on everyone and no one is safe. 

The text at the top of the page promotes the producer of the film by naming other successful films that they have worked on, enticing the audience by associating the success of the producer's previous films with the potential this film has to also be successful. The text in the middle of the page is practically in the golden third of the poster, which draws the eye to it. In 3 short lines the plot, name and release date of the film are revealed to the audience which ensures that, even without trying, someone looking at this poster will have enough information to make a decision on whether or not they will want to see this film.
